[NBLUG/talk] Fedora Install help

[Walter Coole]

Would anyone know what I'm doing wrong with a Fedora 7 install?

The current symptom is that I select "Install or Update an existing 
System", the screen blanks and the message at the top says "LOADING"; 
I'm fairly patient, but after 16hrs of no change, I'm thinking it's stuck.

This is a DVD I burnt from the x86_64 iso from the UC Davis mirror.  The 
SHA was OK and the disk passes the FC6 media check, so I don't think 
it's a simple data error.  I'm thinking of downloading the Fedora 8 
image, but my DSL is doing a fine impression of a tree sloth, so in the 
meantime, I'm hoping someone less clueless than I can give me some guidance.

Maybe I should go to the next InstallFest, but I'm kind of vague about 
when that might be.

In case anyone's interested, my end goal is virtualization: a couple of 
Fedora hosts and a couple of Windoze hosts running on a single hardware 
box.  My current approach is Xen, with Fedora 7 as the host OS, but 
given my repeated failures, I'm open to other approaches.

Thanks in advance!
